Somatic Thermography
Along with breast thermography, Somatic Thermography previously ThermaCan, is now offering Cranial/Dental/Thyroid scan, Upper Body scan and Lower Body scans!
Breast Thermography Scan
Breast thermography is applicable to all women and men and for those who have dense, fibrocystic breasts or have had previous surgeries ie: reductions, mastectomies, lumpectomies or implants. There is no radiation, no pain, no compression and is completely safe for anyone including pregnant and breastfeeding mothers. The focus is early detection of changes in your breasts on a cellular level up to 8 years prior to showing up in other diagnostics. This scan provides a risk assessment for breast disease, and a consultation to support decision making for your breast health.
Cranial/Dental/Thyroid Thermography Scan
Research shows there are casual connections between dental and thyroid pathology and breast and heart disease. This thermal scan provides an assessment of the physiological health status of the dental and thyroid regions, as well as important information such as jaw disfunction (such as TMJ) and the sinus region. Head and neck thermography assesses the cranial, dental and thyroid regions.
Benefits include:
monitoring of dental health
dental disease prevention
monitoring of thyroid function
monitoring of lymphatic flow
monitoring and identification of sinus dysfunction
identification of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder
Studies have shown dental and oral health are closely linked to overall health. Headaches, neck pain, sinusitis, TMJ, lymphatic, thyroid, and cardiovascular diseases, and even breast cancer are all potentially linked to oral pathology. Thermographic imaging is a safe, non-invasive and radiation-free technology that can detect any number of conditions and inflammation caused by:
tooth pain
root canal treatments
dental implants
periodontitis
TMJ
Frequently, dental thermography reveals abnormalities that are asymptomatic (present, but with no feeling of pain). Early assessment and treatment of such findings is beneficial, and in some cases can be life-saving.
Research has confirmed strong correlations between breast health, heart disease, dental pathology and other ailments in the head and neck area.
Thyroid function is central to all metabolic functions of the body and profoundly affects overall health. Thyroid dysfunction can be attributed to many problems, including, but not limited to
fatigue
weight gain or loss
intolerance to heat or cold
dry skin
insomnia
Often, conventional laboratory testing for thyroid abnormalities is reported as normal even though clinic symptoms are present. This could limit the assessment and your prescribed treatment. Thermographic imaging can be used to identify thyroid abnormalities and to aid in proper assessment along with other tests.
Upper Body Thermography Scan
Upper body thermography imaging covers the full spine, abdominal region, arms and hands. It provides assessment of muscular/skeletal, vascular and nervous system irregularities, compensatory issues, inflammation screening, monitoring injury or chronic disease and more.
Lower Body Thermography Scan
Lower body thermography imaging covers the full spine, lower back, legs and feet in multiple positions. This scan provides assessment of muscular/skeletal, vascular and nervous system irregularities, compensatory issues, inflammation screening, monitoring injury or chronic disease and more.
inflammatory conditions (arthritis)
carpal tunnel syndrome
chronic pain
complex regional pain sydrome
musculoskeletal disorders (fibromyalgia, whiplash, chronic back pain)
sports injuries
full body functionality
